Concrete
when
it
looks
like
it's
basically
will
start
from
one
end
and
cut
you
know
kind
of
slosh
it
around
we'll
use
a
rake
and
a
whole
spread
it
out.
We
want
to
use
a
stake
and
poke
it
a
few
times,
especially
in
the
corners.
There
can
be
bubbles
under
there
in
the
corners.
We
want
to
make
sure
all
the
air
is
out
once
we've
get
it
smooth
or
pretty
much
full
it'll
just
be
a
ripoli
mess,
we're
gonna,
scream
or
work
it
across
making
the
concrete
all
smooth.
C

The
that's
done,
no
will
no
doubt
have
poured
another
one
by
then,
and
we
can
screw
that
one
and
so
on.
This
is
the
work
that
happens
down
on
your
knees,
a
whole
lot.
This
is
often
hard,
the
bigger
the
slab.
The
part
of
this
is
when
it
gets
big
enough
on
the
power
street,
like
16
18
foot
wide.
You
want
power
to
move
that
thing,
because
it
really
gets
heavy
I've
done
one
about
that
big
and
what's
not
happy
16.

Have
wooden
floats
and
metal
folks,
the
while
it's
still
kind
of
wet
like
the
surface
is,
is
I
think
they
call
it
leather
hard
it
gives.
But
it's
you
know,
gel
gelatinous
you'll
go
over
it
and
make
sure
you've
got
on
all
smooth
because
there'll
be
like
little
ripples
from
the
scree
and
stuff
like
that.
The
wood
gives
you
kind
of
a
textured
finish,
which
is
probably
roughly.
What
we
want,
we'll
also
have.
The
metal
ones
can
make
it
really
shiny,
smoother
that
surfaces
the
better
it's
going
to
be
at
resisting
water
penetration.

As
much
snow,
the
the
rougher
your
surface,
the
mold
water,
gets
in
it
in
the
Morinville
break
apart,
I've
actually
seen
a
concrete
slab
that
used
to
be
under
a
house
that
was
just
a
completely
normal
under
like
garage
house
slap
that
was
left
out
in
the
weather
in
the
mountains
of
Oregon.
For
three
years
the
surface
was
completely
shattered.
It
was
essentially
crunch
crunch.
It
was
like
gravel
with
little
bits
of
exposed,
rebar
just
from
a
two
years
of
being
exposed
to
the
full
front
of
the
weather.
B
We
want
these
to
be
as
clean
as
possible,
the
smooth
as
possible
and
after
its
smooth,
we
also
have
edges
the
edger
is
going
to
keep
us
from
breaking
off
the
corner
of
our
slab.
We
want
it
to
be
rounded
so
that
you
won't
break
it
every
time
you
Nick
it
with
your
foot
or
something
the
it
will
this.
It
will
just
run
along
the
edge
of
the
concrete
and
you'll
make
a
little
dent
along
the
edge
of
the
wood,
with
the
with
that
and
it'll
kind
of
leave.
